    This is an absolute gem of a place It was the best pub food I have ever had in the UK , The publican is an absolute gentleman and this is the guy you want running your pub , The staff were very friendly and helpful both at dinner and breakfast The breakfast was amazing and overall the best value for money for accomodation and I would have paid double no problem Well done Red Lion and staff Simon and Janine (Airlie Beach Queensland Australia )

    Lovely rooms and very clean.

    Our bedroom faces the main road so we can hear the cars passing by. We stayed on a weekend night so there were a lot of people in the restaurant/pub. Noise was bearable.

    Lovely room although a bit small. I love the wallpaper, bathroom is really clean and modern but the rainfall shower not that strong, the water pressure is weak. Location is handy because we went to Icarus Falconry and it's only a few miles down the road, There was a live band on the Friday night we stayed hence we can hear the caterwauling and the chatter of people downstairs. Breakfast is superb!

    Not keen on the pillows, but this is a personal preference.

    Lovely old traditional thatched roof pup. Food was excellent, staff were very attentive. It is under new ownership and is being gradually and nicely renovated. Large beer garden and nice views in an idyllic small village. Rooms are clean, showers have good water pressure, beds are comfy. We will return should we be in the area. Great to see a traditional old English pub surviving.

    I had requested a quiet room. Just after 6am there was a loud noise of a large number of bottles being tipped into the bins. I'm an earlier riser so was already awake, but it could have woken others. Possibly the rooms on the other side of the hotel wouldn't hear this?

    Extremely friendly staff. Lovely comfortable room. I had both dinner and breakfast and the food was good quality with generous portion sizes.

    nothing to report, all went perfect..

    From our first arrival we just knew this was a lovely place, it has loads of character but modern utilities which were clean and very tidy. The menu was to die for, Osam was the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble for him. All credit to the brilliant chefs employed there, the chicken curry was a suprise and the best i have ever tasted, the kombucha was a total new experience for me, beautiful. Tuesday was pie night, boy the pie was absolutely perfect and a really big portion too, a total suprise to me, the wife had Battered Cod, but to be fair it could double as a whale, she just couldn't finish it.

    Out of two weeks of travelling through England, this was by far my favourite accommodation. The rooms are wonderful, comfortable, cute and clean, the staff were lovely and the breakfast extremely good! Don‘t miss out on their dinner & drinks, which were both fantastic as well. There are a lot of parking spaces as well.
